Zucchini relish

This is our favorite hot dog/hamburger relish. If you have lots of zucchini (and who doesn't?) try this, I think you'll like it.

Taken from the Ball Blue Book w/ proportions made larger.

12 cups shredded zuchinni, core but do not peel (about 5 medium)
3 large onions, chopped fine
4 large green peppers, chopped fine
4 large red peppers, chopped fine
10 tablespoons salt
8 cups sugar
6 cups cider vinegar
10 teaspoons celery seed
5 teaspoons mustard seed

Combine zucchini, onion, green and red peppers, sprinkle with the salt and cover with cold water, let stand 2 hours. Drain and press out excess liquid. Add all remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and cook 10 minutes. Pour hot into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space, adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Yeild: about 10 pints
